grape is used in large amounts and different types (fresh, raisin, vinegar, molasses, juice, unriped grape and etc). remarkable amount also are preserved in stores and cold-rooms to be supplied out of season, that causes  quality and weight decrease. this research was conducted to study different factors which affect the grape shelf-life. obtaining more information about optimum conditions and ...

Adhesively bonded structures are potentially lighter in weight than mechanically fastened ones, but existing surface treatments are often considered unreliable. Two main problems in achieving reproducible and durable adhesive bonds are surface contamination and variability in standard surface preparation techniques. In this work three surface pretreatments were compared: laser etching with and ...
